He is before you.
Go and greet him.
Bernardo did so, and reverently took the cold hand of his father to kiss it.
As he did so, the body fell forward on the neck of the horse.
It was only a corpse.
Alfonso had killed the father before delivering him to his son.
Only his guards saved the ruthless tyrant at that moment from death.
The infuriated king swore a fearful oath of vengeance upon the king and rode away, taking the revered corpse with him.
Unfortunately, the story of Bernardo ends here.
None of the ballads tell what he did for revenge.
We may imagine that he joined his power to the moors and harried the land of Leon during his afterlife, at length reaching Alfonso's heart with his vengeful blade.
But of this neither ballad nor legend tells, and with the pathetic scene of the dead father's release, our story ends.
